The models that are soon to be antiquated are the TCM-400, TCM-410 and TCM-450, but lucky for anyone who still uses cassettes and is still into that whole "carry a huge device on my shoulder" thing from the 90s, Sony isn't putting a stop to boomboxes with cassette decks. Yet.

Really though, anyone who's still relying on magentic tape (Mom?) could probably use a push into the future where we don't have to worry about so many moving parts. Though it is sad to think someday you may stumble on a shoebox full of old recorded-off-the-radio mixtapes with nothing around to play them. Then again, maybe that's for the best. Goodnight sweet princes. [mynavi via Engadget]
